California Academy of Family Physicians

Since 1948, the California Academy of Family Physicians has been the leading advocate for family medicine in California. With over 11,000 members, including family physicians, residents, and medical students, we provide unparalleled advocacy, education, and resources to strengthen primary care. Our organization serves as the largest chapter of the American Academy of Family Physicians, driving policy changes that benefit both practitioners and patients. Through continuous medical education programs, including 24/7 online CME, we ensure family physicians maintain the highest standards of practice. Our commitment to innovation is evident in initiatives like trauma-informed care, telehealth resources, and disaster preparedness frameworks.

We foster professional growth through career development tools, local chapter networks, and leadership opportunities. Our advocacy efforts directly influence healthcare legislation, protecting the interests of family medicine practitioners statewide. With a focus on community impact, we support initiatives addressing substance use disorder, reproductive health, and health equity. Our team combines decades of collective experience in family medicine to deliver trusted guidance and support. As a nonprofit organization, we prioritize member needs through transparent governance and dedicated staff leadership. Our work ensures California remains at the forefront of family medicine excellence.
